EQ2 doesn't start

My current one is not capable of running it, but I should be able to do it as long as I have DirectX (which I do). That worked when I used to play SWG, but I'm still having the problem I have in the first post.

I found the list of video cards... Which would probably be best?

I'm thinking about an nvidia GeForce. Would that be good, or Radeon?

DirectX is only as good as what your video card can be allowed to do. DirectX has nothing to do whether or not you can run the game. It all depends on what the recommended specs are and in this case you need a video card capable of running the game.

If your going to get a video card make sure your motherboard can use it also.

Wait a minute... I'm fairly certain my problems are from the video card. I changed it to windowed mode to see if that would make it work, and a message popped up that said "You require a video card with pixel shader support"

So far you havent mentioned if you have a video card so nobody can help you determine if its the video card or something else.

Alright, never mind... I think I can handle it from here. Thanks for your help guys.
